A little photo story summarizing my trip to the Northwest

I had an amazing time on my vacation. Here's a little photo story to sum up the trip:

After playing football on Sunday, I had to rest before the wedding celebration.

It was lovely to see my old pal Kris. He has been an amazing friend over the years and I'm so happy for him!

The next day, Leanne and I drove to Canada to see Sigur Ros. The show was AMAZING.

The next day we went to Lynn Valley Park and hiked around. The adventure included a suspension bridge. That made me want to throw up. Because I'm scared of heights. And suspension bridges.

But here's a little self portrait of us on the bridge:

A few days later, back in Oregon, we drove by Multnomah Falls. It was beautiful, and right off the highway.

After those falls, we headed to Eagle Creek to hike to Tunnel Falls. The hike was 12 miles round trip, and I spanked it, while only mildly complaining of my soggy feet.

Lastly, we headed back to Portland, and the next day, I was back on a flight to Nashville. 

It was a trip I will NEVER forget. So amazing.

My new favorite app

I discovered the Cat Effects App. Here are some little treasures I've added cats to. You're welcome.

Tennis elbow, or something

For those of you that were following the story with my cat, Bubba, he's still on the mend. His liver numbers are still not quite normal, but he is eating like a little pig and was even acting like he was on crack this morning while playing with his toys. I think the following photos prove he's feeling somewhat better:

Needless to say, I'm glad he's acting like he's feeling better... those three weeks were very emotionally difficult for me.

As for other things going on, I was taken off the calendar at one of my jobs (whatever that means), so I'm now only working 40 hours a week. It's been quite some time since I've not worked more than one full time job. I have to say, even though I have no idea how I will make ends meet... it's kind of a huge load off to have some down time. And for the first time in a while I feel like I have my life back. While I'm only working 40 PAID hours a week, I'm still in full force stitching mode. Porter Flea (go ahead, click on it!) is fast approaching, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm way behind on my ties. Unfortunately for me, my whole right arm, from fingertips to shoulder, keeps getting tingly and becoming useless. I think it's the combination of the cake decorating I'm doing all day as well as the stitching I'm doing at night. So..... that should be interesting. I'm pushing through the pain right now, but if anyone has any words of wisdom to make that stop, please, let me know!

Lastly, I'm planning a photo shoot with some friends to show off all these ties I'm working on, so expect to see some really great pictures by my photographer friends soon!

Have a WONDERFUL week, because I said so.
